The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, June 8, 1905
MR. HARRY WIHTE and MISS FERN H. GARTIN, both of this city, were quietly married last evening, June 7, 1905, at 9:30 o'clock at the Baptist Parsonage. Rev. F.B. Palmer performed the ceremony in the presence of a few witnesses only. The bridesmaids were GUSSIE LEINEN and ETHEL WHITE and the groom's attendants were EARL MILNES and LESTER WHITTLESEY. The bride was becomingly attired in a gown of brown silk over green silk, with a hat to match. MISS LEINEN wore a dark red silk suit and MISS WHITE was attired in white. At the conclusion of the ceremony the happy couple were given a rousing charivari by a number of their young friends, which it is said lasted until nearly dawn this morning. They will reside in the WHITE property on West Braden Avenue where they are now at home to their friends.
The bride is a daughter of MR. and MRS. C.F. GARTIN and has resided in this county from childhood. She is a graduate of the Chariton High School, being a member of the class of 1904. She enjoys the love and high regard of a large circle of warm hearted friends and associates and will grace the house of her chosen partner with elegance and loyalty.
The groom is the son of G.W WHITE of Whitebreast Township, and is one of our worthy young business men, being proprietor of the livery and feed stable south of the southwest corner of the square. He is industrious and energetic and a young man of excellent qualities.
The Leader joins the many friends of MR. and MRS. WHITE in extending hearty congratulations and is wishing them a pleasant and successful voyage over the tempestuous sea of life.
